Stuck in Remote Administrative Mode Windows SBS 2003 running Term Server
I am running Windows 2003 SBS on a Dell 2900 in a Small Health Care Practice. There is a remote location with a few Terminals that I need to connect into the system so I purchased 5 Term CALs. I installed them successfully and setup a new connection in Terminal Services configuration. I selected a separate network adapter however it does not matter I get the same message; "This server is configured in the default Remote Desktop mode for remote administration, which allows a maximum of two simultaneous remote connections." Also in another spot it tells me to go to Add/Remove programs to correct this, however nothing is there regarding this topic.
Use Add/Remove Windows Components (not Add/Remove Programs, it is the 3rd items on the left column of Add/Remove Programs)- Install Terminal Services and TS Licensing server
Terminal Server application mode is not supported on SBS 2003. I'm afraid there's no way around it without installing a different OS or purchasing a second server.

I am using ADD/REMOVE windows components not programs and I am pretty sure u can use Term Serv in SBS as it has a licensing wizard, configuration tool and management utility.

Ok so I believe you will have answered my question DrDave242, just one more thing. In addition to my SBS Server I have a Windows 2003 Standard Server which planned to use for terminal services in the first place. I am assuming I just need to setup term services on the standard server then my licenses I installed on SBS term manager will apply here, correct?
